Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory…. Or having it snatched from you.

I knew it was too good to last.

My exhortations for you all to support me as your new Prime Minister and in so doing create a land fit for eHeroes was seemingly working wonders. Thirteen, yes that’s right, thirteen votes for my last article and for a few hours at least the support of the UKRP.

That in tandem with the promise of a few votes seemed in my mind to confirm the victory was won. No more active campaigning was needed and a coast to ultimate victory was assured

Indeed on ERX the stock of companies involved in wood harvesting and building was rocketing. They obviously understood the inevitable requirement for their products once the full scale production of mead halls commenced.

But then, oh bleak and terrible day, I was informed that GGRYAN had taken the colours of the UKRP and had entered the race to become the Master, the Lord of all Ring Givers. It was then I knew that my cause was lost and that the field had to be conceded to a mightier warrior and better man than me.

For in truth this GGRYAN is a most capable and experienced player, diligent about his duties, a most consummate politician, caring of his liegemen and one who will make a far better leader of heroes than I.

It is to his banner that I now recommend you wholeheartedly flock.

I just hope that once his reign commences he may instruct that a small Mead Hall be constructed at the arse end of East Anglia. A few aged warriors will still appreciate the haven it provides.

And me… well I’m sloping back to the mere to discuss things with my mother. She won’t be pleased I’m sure.
